Something happening in London. Reports a van has mowed down people on London bridge, now reports of gun fire nearby, Police running into pubs telling people to get down.

Twitter has blown up. Go in and look for #londonbridge you get a news feed and running commentary covering just about every possible range of emotions and views

Another attack during an election campaign. Hard to imagine it's a coincidence.

What I don't get is how stupid the government thinks the terrorists are. The risk level was raised to critical after Manchester. Did anyone seriously think that's when another episode would occur?

Lower the risk (collective exhale) and that's when the next incident is.

How can you predict when something like this occurs? Life goes on, I don't understand your comment here. Do you think the government should keep the risk level as critical forever?

True, you can't predict when something like this will happen. I suggested that you could predict when these things wouldn't happen.

There shouldn't be a risk level at all. It only creates (or adds to) a climate of greater fear IMHO.

Witness reports men with blades stabbing a girl to death and shouting "This is for Allah".

Stop the world - I want to get off.

I love a conspiracy.

Conservatives suddenly vulnerable according to the polls and this happens.

Conspiracy or not it's fair to say they'll use it for all the political benefit they can.

P.S-Surely it's time all English police carry guns. I wouldn't do the job without one.

Muslims make up 2% of Australias population.
They make up 5% of Englands.

Just sayin'.

[Pies4shaw]

I understand, Skids - we'll get the numbers up to 5% by hook or by crook.
